Title: Method and apparatus for assembling and delivering veneer packet to laminated veneer lumber press
Inventor: GIBSON PETER WILLIAM
IPC: B27D1/04
Filed: 1998-10-26
Abstract: A veneer packet assembly and delivery apparatus; and, a method of assembling a packet of veneer sheets and delivering the assembled packet for incorporation into a billet being fed into a laminated veneer lumber press. A veneer sheet is aligned atop a first series of spaced horizontal members, which are then displaced downwardly by a selected thickness distance and longitudinally by a selected offset distance. Additional sheets are sequentially aligned atop the previous sheet(s) until a packet having the desired number of plies is assembled. The first members are then lowered between a second series of spaced horizontal members, to transfer the packet onto the second members. The second members and the packet are then displaced horizontally away from the first members, over the input end of the press. A third series of spaced horizontal members are then raised between the second members, to transfer the packet onto the third members. The packet is then lowered onto the input end of the press. The third members are retracted to transfer the packet onto the input end of the press. Transfer of the packet onto the input end of the press is controlled to precisely align the packet's forward end with the trailing end of a previously processed packet being transported into the press.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining the provenance of a data carrying disc
Inventor: HEYLEN RICHARD A A
IPC: G11B7/0037
Filed: 1999-09-29
Abstract: The provenance of a data disc such as a CD or DVD, which is produced to have data errors which arise as a result of the physical manufacture of the disc, and which is normally read with error correction procedures for the disc data, is determined by reading data from the disc without application of the error correction procedures and extracting information about errors in the data on the disc from the uncorrected data. The extracted error information is compared to characteristic error information provided from, for example, a known and genuine disc stamped from the master from which the disc under test is alleged to be stamped.  The characteristic data is a characteristic of all data carrying discs, which have been produced from a known source so that the comparison step is used to determine whether the disc under test has also been produced from the known source.
